This book single handedly shaped my understanding of competition. I've used the principles in this book for so much other things besides business. I recommend you get every book from Michael Porter. It's not a short read but it's worth it.

This book has taught me how to truly think outside the box by trailblazing my own path in the reselling game. I realized to stand out, I had to really think differently. Zero to One made redefined the word "innovation" for me and I hope it does the same for you.

Like with every book from Michael Porter, this book is a goldmine. If you're interested to know about REAL strategy, this is the only required reading.

I've tried a handheld steamer but the water tank capacity is too little for the volume I do so I had to move to a full size steamer. This one is really good and pumps out about 35-40 minutes of steam time. It's so good that I actually own 3.

Honestly I buy the cheapest tape possible as long as it's 110 yards and 2 inches wide. Don't waste your money on branded tape. I use a lot of tape that's why I buy the 36 pack.

I own a couple of these and have never replaced any of them. If you can find one at a better price, go for it, I'm sure they all work the same. I'm just recommending this one because it has never failed me.

If you do low volume, this one is perfect and is a great price. With the volume we do, I have to replace these about 1 time ever 3 months due to how much we're putting clothes on and taking off of it. I also own 3 of these.

This magnet is STRONG, however it's not strong enough to work on every sensor tag. For those that stubborn tags, you just need a lighter and this magnet.

First off, your phone camera works fine as long as it's a relatively new phone. Don't let anyone tell you any different. I just opt for the Apple iTouch because I don't want to put my personal phone through the use and abuse when shooting 1,000's of photos in a day. I also chose the iTouch becuase I can drop photos seamlessly to my MacBook via Airdrop. I also bought mine refurbished.

This thing is a beast and a soldier. Mine is missing the fuzz catcher but it's still shaving like a champ.

I'm not a fan of spending money on shipping supplies if I can get them for free. Save your money and order yourself some FREE shipping supplies at USPS.com. You can also read my rant here.

I have no complaints about this kit. It's cheap but effective and I have a couple of sets.

Simply put, Costco has the best prices on these. If you're lucky, you can get them on sale. I have hundreds of these. I wouldn't get them anywhere but Costco but here's a link to show you how they look like.

If you can find this elsewhere for cheaper, go for it. I got both of mine from eBay. Whatever you do, don't buy it from Dymo.com unless they're having a 99% off sale. This printer will cut down your shipping time dramatically when you start doing volume. I own 2 because I have 1 as backup, yes it's that serious. You can read my in depth review here.

Generic labels works fine and I've always bought generic printer labels. Don't pay $37 at Dymo.com when you can get the same thing for 1/8 of the price elsewhere. As far as "voiding" the label printer because you used a generic label goes, I think it's a bunch of bull. Go with the generic labels like the ones made by Amazon Basics.

I wouldn't be surprised if this stain remover contains some kind of VooDoo. Sometimes you have to be patient but Grandma's Secret Spot Remover took off grease with 2 applications...GREASE! Apply, wait 5 mins, dab then wipe is the process I use to take off grease, pen marks and other random stains on clothes.

Sooner or later you WILL run into a situation where a tag on your NWT item accidentally falls off. A tagging gun is the solution to this. I would buy both clear and black barb fasteners refills to accomodate to the original barb color. Don't pay more than $15 for this including fasteners.

When I'm thrifting, there are times when I find a really nice piece with a couple of stains. Instead of wondering if the stains might come out in a wash, I'm usually fairly confident they will thanks to this pre-wash stain remover. Once in a while I might run across a stain that this gel stick won't work on but for the most part, it help takes off A LOT of stains.
